I will think positive thoughts for your Mom, and I hope that on this Valentine&#39;s Day, you all celebrate and enjoy. I wasn&#39;t able to clearly tell what kind of Cancer your mom is battling; I&#39;m guessing uterine? My mom passed two years ago this coming Mother&#39;s Day from Lung Cancer. She didn&#39;t quite fight as I&#39;d hoped, nor did she operate - but that was her choice. I&#39;m happy to hear your Mom is hopeful and willing to fight. It&#39;s a difficult battle, but psychology is so important and to have the will to fight it, is so very important. Thoughts to you all.....Best, Rebecca (http://supergoddessgirl.blogspot.com)Rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00747583945280534950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846798153194004738.post-83036782715957760172012-02-13T04:21:33.690-06:002012-02-13T04:21:33.690-06:00very true!!!!Sujoy Ghoshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06639839768393174372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846798153194004738.post-2265007291167593372012-02-11T21:08:32.709-06:002012-02-11T21:08:32.709-06:00Mom - revisit this post!

You keep fighting, and we&#39;ll keep praying - deal? Don&#39;t give up. Having recently went through stem cell apheresis, I know how disheartening the prospect of more medical procedures can be. It&#39;s hard to know what to say without being maudlin, patronizing, mystical, or platitudinal. I think it suffices to say that we all know you have it in you to fight on. That&#39;s the only prospect we cancer patients have, emulating others in great struggles. <br /><br />I begin to think that quantum entanglement must play a role in destiny, or perhaps it&#39;s Jung&#39;s &quot;collective unconscious&quot;. A theoretical physicist I know at Cornell thinks so. Therefore, let us all concentrate on just one positive thing, and exactly at the same time - your recovery. Eight pm every night and eight am every day, and whenever the thought strikes us - focus and think this for five minutes.<br /><br />May God bless and protect us all, and grant us everlasting victory over our trials, and tribulations.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />W., D. and B.t.B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846798153194004738.post-64017935622488843332012-01-10T08:36:17.842-06:002012-01-10T08:36:17.842-06:00Hi Kerry, I hope everything is going ok.

A lot of kidney stones are transparent to x-ray, and I have had several that show nothing but the hydronephrosis, even on a CT scan. A stone may have also passed, and the dilation is residual, or it may just be getting started. If you are not in pain, be thankful. One would think that a tumor would be apparent, especially if contrast was used in the study.<br /><br />The mass is disconcerting, but if there is doubt, that it good in this case. There is no mention of a change in size of this mass, which, I think, would have been mentioned; as previous studies are available. It only mentions the current size. That said, scar tissue can change over time, and expand. Given the location, it should be operable, if need be.<br /><br />The really good news, is that there is no mention of any organ involvement. And, the other studies are: &quot;clean.&quot; The PET scan will tell the tale.<br /><br />A brief comment on the genetic study. It is noteworthy that there is no mention of what could have caused the mutation, which appears to indicate that it did not come from either parent. From what little I&#39;ve read, this mutation could have been caused by an external factor, and therefore, does not seem to imply that there was necessarily a dormant carrier in your ancestry.<br /><br />Have a good Christmas and new year. And, don&#39;t give up the fight. It&#39;s hard to write something without it aounding like a platitude, but you have nothing to lose by fighting; and, you are the strongest fighter I&#39;ve ever seen. Keep up the fight. A very large part of this is your mental ability to face adversity.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />W., D., and B.t.B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846798153194004738.post-88238246181066344772011-11-22T22:28:45.669-06:002011-11-22T22:28:45.669-06:00I hope she gets better.
